 to the Chandler Family Association website. We hope you will take time to explore.
We’re looking forward to seeing many members at our annual meeting, to be held this year at Hampton, Virginia, in celebration of John Chandler’s arrival in the New World 400 years ago. The city of Hampton, where John lived much of his adult life, is also observing its 400th anniversary this year.
Many CFA members descend from John Chandler; many descend from other early Chandler immigrants. This year’s meeting, from September 16 to 18, will include a mixture of descendants from a number of Chandler lines.
Highlights of this annual meeting are guided bus tours of Jamestown and Hampton and the unveiling and demonstration of CFA’s new searchable database containing records of over 80,000 Chandlers and Chandler descendants.

CHANGE IN DEPARTURE TIME FOR JAMESTOWN TOURS!
The Executive Committee is excited to announce that we have an extremely large turnout for our meeting in Hampton this year and we are looking forward to meeting each of you. Due to the overwhelming response to participate in the Jamestown tours on Thursday we have had to move the departure time up by one hour. THE BUS WILL NOW DEPART AT 9:00 AM!
The reason for this change is that our tour group is so large the staff at Historic Jamestown has advised that we will need to tour in two groups. We will still have a tour at 11:15 am but we will also have a tour at 10:15 am.
We will all arrive at Historic Jamestown at 10:00 and we will break into two tour groups. As each group is taking their walking tour the other group will remain in the area of the Information Center and will be shown other attractions, view a video and then they will have time to browse the gift shop.
We will still be on schedule for our Jamestown Settlement tour beginning at 1:30.
For those members that will be meeting the group at Historic Jamestown be sure to arrive at either 10:00 or 11:00 depending on which tour you are able to participate in. It doesn't matter which tour you choose. Each tour will have a maximum of 75 persons with one tour guide. We have a total of 103 attending the tours so we can divide the groups into about 50 in each group.
For those members staying at the Embassy Suites there will be a reminder of this time change attached to your welcome packet that you will receive when you check in.

Flyers and News Releases Promote CFA Annual Meeting
A press release about our 2010 Annual Meeting went to more than 200 news outlets, libraries, and genealogical societies on June 27, 2010. Our 2010 Annual Meeting flyer and several recent news releases are available on our Newsroom page. You may use any of the items on that page to promote the CFA. Print the news releases and deliver them to your local news outlet, or take the 2010 Annual Meeting flyer to your local library and/or genealogy society. Thank you for helping!
 Oops! An error on the Annual Meeting flyer was corrected on July 1, 2010, and the corrected flyer was uploaded to the website. The mistake was in the address of the Embassey Suites Hotel, which is 1700 Coliseum Drive, not 700. We believe the flyer was the only place this mistake was made. Apologies from your webmaster!

12th Genetic Chandler Family Added
With the addition of the story for Chandler DNA Project Group 48, descendants of Hiram Chandler of New York City, we now have twelve genetic Chandler families represented on this web site. Visit the Genetic Chandler Families page to navigate to these unique Chandler histories. Since almost 60 genetically-distinct Chandler lines have so far been scientifically identified by DNA testing, collecting the family stories will be a work in progress for some time.
